It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

...I do have a bone or two to pick with this film.No, I'm not talking about other thanksgivings that preceded the famous one held by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags. Like, the one at Jamestown, Virginia, for instance. Or one even earlier (and further south) than that, held by some grateful conquistadors, in Mexico!My nitpicks are centered around the elements of realism Hallmark tried to interject into the film.First, there are the documents Everett shows to Mary. To the best of my knowledge, the 17th-century spelling of Plymouth was "P-l-i-m-o-u-t-h." Yet, the modern spelling is clearly visible on at least a couple of those Xeroxes!Then, there's the climate. When Everett is swinging Mary on that reproduction of her childhood plank-seat swing, at the conclusion, the shrubs still have an abundant profusion of green leaves on them. There's not one multi-colored tree leaf on the lawn. And Mary, herself, is wearing a glorified sun dress!As a born-and-bred Connecticut Yankee, I can tell you for a fact that New England was cold and blustery on Thanksgiving Day, 2013. So, either this movie was filmed in the Mediterranean-like climate of Plymouth, California. Or (assuming they shot it on location, in Massachusetts, at all) it was filmed during the summer months.Yet, in spite of the aforementioned nitpicks, it proved a suitably poignant movie, as I said before. So, anybody with a greater power to suspend disbelief than me...will no doubt enjoy watching it.Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! :-)

When I first started the movie I though "Well, this girl has everything, a good job, a boyfriend who is not an idiot, and she seems happy with it" Ha, couldn't be more wrong. I really checked this, the main character, "Mary" doesn't ACTUALLY smile until the movie reached the hour (maybe a small grin before). I read a review in which it was stated that there is nothing about thanksgiving and it's all about the romance, let me tell you something: WRONG. I think that the main plot here is Mary trying to enjoy Thanksgiving again after what happened with her parents. And it's done thanks to the memories in the house her aunt left her. The romance can be considered a sub plot. Speaking of subplot, I found Rick's and Ashley's subplot totally useless. Why Hallmark, why? For once I though the boyfriend was not going to be an idiot, and maybe he wasn't at all, he was doing suggestions to Mary about what to do with the house - It was none of his business though - but all he was thinking was profit. And it can clearly be seen that those two were not in a happy relationship. Despite a few things, the plot was okay, so were the characters. I was a bit annoyed at times with Mary, but Everett made up for her, he is ADORABLE, and so passionate about Thanksgiving and the house however I didn't feel any chemistry between the actors.I don't know if it's because we don't celebrate this holiday in my country or that I didn't feel anything with the movie because of all the things mentioned above but i'm definitely not watching this again. Maybe it's worth the watch, only once on a boring afternoon.

This sweet film has everything going for it...good cast and writing and a cozy theme. But it is marred for this Virginia native by the film's assertion that the "first" Thanksgiving occurred in 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.In fact, the first Thanksgiving occurred in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia when the first colonists to colonize what we now know as America arrived in three ships: The Discovery, The Godspeed and the Susan Constant. One of the first things the colonists did was to have a Christian service of Holy Communion and Thanksgiving. They also befriended the Native American tribes in the area and shared meals together. It is important that our media accurately reflect actual American history. Hallmark has an obligation to have said, "the first Thanksgiving in the Massachusetts colony" which would have been the truth and would not have detracted from the film's theme.

Hallmark does have a good history of airing original movies that are good. Which is why I like to watch them when I canThe Thanksgiving House is one of those films you can actually sit down and watch to appreciate for it's original plot and acting which is what Hallmark is known to do.With the cast being: Emily Rose,Justin Bruening,Julia Jones,Lindsay Wagner,Bruce Boxleitner,Cerina Vincent,Adam Kaufman,Jack Scalia each one help tell the story of the movie Emily's performance stands out the most because her character stuck out the most with Justin's performance coming in second. Cerina's character really shows out to be the bad apple in terms The music was wonderful it was everything you would want in a movie like this and then some I just enjoy the score all together it was peaceful and joyful it set the tone of the movie. The setting is good as well.Overall I enjoy the story, the acting and the music it just really good to have a Thanksgiving theme movie I give The Thanksgiving House an 8 out of 10
